Not sure off the top of my head.
Its a Revell 1/72 GR1 and will hopefully be in Desert/Gulf colours.

Apparently it is a '91 GR1A Operation "Desert Storm" "White Rose"
A White Rose below the cockpit on the right and a WW2 style sexy woman "Debbie" on the left hand side. No graphics as such on the tail.

You know the planes first hand or just built the same model?

lol that colour was just the natural colour of the plastic.
Its primered now trying to sort out the bad joins etc. I'll post some more pics up as it progresses. Kinda spreading my time between a 1/48 F-16C, 1/25 Camaro Z28 and this lol
I'll be using a nice wash too, so the panel lines should show up nicely and add a bit of weathering to it.

If you are serious about really upping the standard of your models, have a look at the ProModeller site. Its 3 quid a month to join but the video tutorial builds (lots of them) are unique and top notch. I picked up so many new techniques and really improved the standard of my models. It even gave me the confidence to start using an airbrush which made so mmuch difference.
